He Toki Huna: New Zealand in Afghanistan

NZ, 2013, 78 mins, Exempt, directors and WIFT members Kay Ellmers and Annie Goldson

He Toki Huna: New Zealand in Afghanistan (2013) explores New Zealand's involvement in Afghanistan - the longest ever war in which this country has played a part. The film gives an overview of our engagement, and backgrounds some of Afghanistan's turbulent history before and after the events of 9/11. The documentary asks three simple questions: Why did New Zealand go into Afghanistan? What did we do there? Why did we hear so little about it?

When:
7pm Wednesday 29th & Thursday 30th April
4.30m Saturday 2nd May

Where:
Ng? Taonga Sound & Vision, 84 Taranaki St, Wellington
